Title: Sergio Oliva - 1966 Mr World & 1966 Mr Olympia
Post by: Sergio Rules 77 on December 18, 2006, 12:34:22 AM
As one of Sergio's biggest fans, I wanted to share with everyone what I hope will be screenshots of every piece of footage I have of Sergio. This first batch is from the 1966 Mr World. The quality isn't the best but they're still viewable. Enjoy!!!

The last two pics are from the 1966 Olympia posedown. I would have included pics of Sergios posing but minimal flashes went off during his routine, making him almost impossible to notice.

Thanks for sharing, Sergio Rules 77. Back in 2004, at the Arnold Classic, Sergio Oliva had a booth set up at IDS. I approached him with my vintage copy of the February 1968 Ironman issue featuring him on the cover. When I showed him the issue, his face lit up like a Christmas tree. As he was signing it he asked, "Where did you get this?". "eBay", I replied.  ;D

Real cool, nice guy to meet.  8)

He looks about the same size as Scott and a few other guys in the '66 O. It's surprising to me because I don't know much about many guys pre-1970, and considering Sergio's size, I figured he would be tough to match for size. He really must have brought up his physique in '67. Thanks for the pics.

Yes, I have his training video. The quality is really rough and I'm not sure if it was ever officially released, a good review of it is below in case no one has seen it :
